Ever since his youth, J.S. Bach's Endzweck (ultimate goal) was to compose 'well-regulated church music to the Glory of God'. This lifelong dedication was best realised through his numerous output of church Cantatas. He wrote at least three yearly cycles of Cantatas during his time as Cantor of Leipzig. Sir John Eliot Gardiner, an expert interpreter of Bach's music, describes his Cantatas as a 'procession of gripping musical works of exceptional worth’.

Die Konzertisten Charity Institute debuts its Bach Pilgrimage Series with some of the composer's finest Cantatas. All three of the chosen Cantatas are written for Trinitytide. Come and be dazzled by these stunningly beautiful works for their rich diversity of texture, mood and form that only Bach, in the zenith of his creative power, could manage to achieve. Cammer Musicus, our local Baroque orchestra, will be featured in all concerts of this Series, playing on period instruments.
